Course Overview

The MS-101: Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security course by Microsoft is designed for enterprise administrators responsible for managing cloud and hybrid environments within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. This course directly prepares candidates for the MS-101 certification exam, which was a key component of the Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert credential. Target roles include Microsoft 365 administrators, security administrators, and compliance officers who manage endpoints, secure identities, and protect organizational data. With over 300 million Microsoft 365 commercial users globally, demand for skilled professionals who can secure and manage this platform remains high across enterprises of all sizes.

Participants in the MS-101: Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security training engage with core tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune), Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID), and the Microsoft 365 compliance center. The hands-on lab environment, delivered through the Azure portal and a simulated Microsoft 365 tenant, enables students to configure device enrollment, deploy conditional access policies, implement sensitivity labels, and manage data loss prevention (DLP) rules. A key project involves building a comprehensive endpoint security strategy using Microsoft Defender XDR, integrating threat protection across email, cloud apps, and devices, while configuring audit logs and response workflows in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.

Although the MS-101 exam retired on September 30, 2023, and has been replaced by MS-102: Microsoft 365 Administrator, the MS-101: Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security curriculum remains foundational for administrators pursuing the updated Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert certification. Professionals with this expertise command a U.S. average salary of $150,356, reflecting the high value organizations place on security and compliance management. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning with official Microsoft courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run batches, and 1-on-1 training options, ensuring candidates master real-world administrative tasks. Completing this training empowers IT professionals to advance into senior administration, security engineering, or compliance management roles within modern digital workplaces.
